Grainger Engineering Seminars

Scientific discovery is one of humanity’s most important endeavors. Using the tools of exploration, we can better understand our universe and ultimately learn more about ourselves. As NASA’s Associate Administrator for the Science Mission Directorate, Dr. Thomas Zurbuchen is responsible for NASA’s Science Program – including Earth Science, Heliophysics, Planetary Science and Astrophysics –  where he is helping to answer some of humanity’s biggest questions: Where did we come from? Are we alone? How does the universe work? 

Join the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering and moderator ECE Assistant Professor Lara Waldrop for an informal in-person Q & A with Dr. Zurbuchen.

This event is open to all students, faculty and staff.
